[Elizabeth’s Review]: See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon

Did I immediately pre-order a physical copy of this book once I finished it? Yes, I did. I have reviewed Rachel Lynn Solomon’s YA books, which you can find here too, and my reviews tend to follow the same direction when it comes to her books. Just the synopsis of See You Yesterday alone had me vehemently […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Mr. Wrong Number by Lynn Painter

This book was so much fun to read, and I found myself unable to put it down. When reading the synopsis, I could tell that this book would be fun, witty and full of romance. Olivia—our main character—caught me by surprise. There have been several times when I have read a book with a quirky […]

[Taylor’s Review] : Second First Impressions by Sally Throne

Sally Thorne won me over with The Hating Game a few years ago and that love was cemented with 99 Percent Mine. Having been a fan of Thorne’s previous books, I jumped at the opportunity to read her newest novel Second First Impressions. Second First Impressions, is a contemporary romance novel that features Ruthie Midona, […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

When I first read the synopsis, I immediately requested this one to review. Male on male, fake boyfriends and British humor – sign me up. But to be honest, I didn’t like it all that much. If I hadn’t had to review it and I’d believe in DNF’s, I probably would have put the book […]

[Lisa’s Review]: From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

With her most recent surprise release From Blood and Ash, Jen officially joined the ranks of high fantasy authors with a massive bang. It’s hands down the best book I’ve read this year, and definitely one of her best books to date. From epic fight scenes, over swoon-worthy men to strong female characters and steamy […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

This book was such a fun read, and I fell in love with the romantic-comedy that Lina and Max embodied. Lina Santos is a wedding planner who was dumped at the altar, and she did not let it stop her. What I loved about Lina was her hardworking attitude and how she never gave up. […]
